Message Arrow outside of the frame

[miani]

I want that the window skin arrow in the messages is displayed outside of the message box, like 10px down.

I made a screen to show it better. I use Galv Message Styles plugin.



I would appreciate if anyone could help me with that.

Made this for you. Just change the plugin parameters to change the location of the arrow. 10 pixels down would probably be something like: y anchor -0.3.

I also added a plugin parameter so you can change the location of the arrow during the game if you want to.
If you have any problems with the plugin feel free to message me.

Hi thanks for the quick reply. Actually I was using the windowskin arrow, the standard from MV, and not the one from the Galv's plugin.

But I made it in another way with your script, it's looking very good now, thanks for your time. I'll put your name in the credits for sure.

Final result:
